This week on Fertility in Focus, we warmly welcome Weronika Gallant, the Clinical Operations Manager at TRIO Fertility, who brings a wealth of knowledge and empathy to our conversation on mental health support in fertility care. As a former fertility nurse, Weronika provides a unique perspective on the emotional hurdles and mental toll faced by individuals navigating fertility treatments. We talk about the often-overlooked emotional fatigue and stress patients experience, the unmet expectations, and the profound isolation that can accompany a fertility journey. Weronika underscores the critical importance of seeking support, such as reproductive counsellors, to maintain mental well-being throughout this demanding journey. Tune in for insights, resources, and encouragement as we aim to support those navigating the emotional landscape of fertility treatments.
